A couple more of the warblers from my back yard.

This cardinal is a frequent visitor to my back yard. With a little practice, I can whistle something close to his call and that brings him running to see who's the strange bird on the deck.

Our white clamatis is down to two flowers but suddenly we've got new buds and a red flower emerging from the vine.

We picked up these beauties in Montreal on the weekend. Now to figure out where to plant them.

It's now the time of the roses in our garden. The only problem photographically is that they all face east, over the fence, toward my neighbour Alicia. I think it's because she talks to them more than I do.

Now my roses are starting to bloom. I must credit the former owners for leaving me a beautiful garden to work with.

One last post of the beautiful climbing clamatis on our back deck. The blossoms are almost gone now, but for the past month, we've had a wall of white.

A new bloom in my garden to greet this morning.

My son Steve graduated today from Algonquin College with his Business Certificate, Small and Medium Enterprise Management. Way to go Steve!

The trees in our back yard are full of birdhouses constructed by the previous owner. Unfortunately, the abundance of black squirrels seems to make them a dangerous nesting place.

My new Chiminea...an elegant form of burn barrel.

Ironwork in my buddy's garden....can't wait to add my own.

More from my bountiful new gardens, this one courtesy of the previous owners.

My first posts with my new camera, from my backyard garden.
